They had two children, Erin (born in 1958) and Bill (born in 1960).

Janice returned to school, graduating as an RN from the St. John School of Nursing in 1970. For the next 30 years, she utilized her compassion and skills as an Intensive Cardiac Care nurse and later as the corporate nurse for the Williams Companies.
